The English muffin was nicely toasted and I could easily customize the side to remove the feta etc. Really nice ambience. I will admit that I didn't like how it was hard to get the attention of the waitress to get our check etc. Note it was a busy Saturday but I do prefer more attentive service. Regardless, this is a good brunch spot with lots of food options and even gluten friendly options.

We made a reservation for 11am on a Saturday and were seated quickly in one of the booths. However,…read moreit took over 15 minutes for a server to take our orders which was disappointing. Eventually a waiter came and apologized as there was a "mix up on the tables." The interior decor is eclectic and moody but the booths, tables, and menus show signs of age. I ordered the filet mignon eggs benedict with country potatoes. I am glad that they were able to do hard poached eggs for my friend as she doesn't like runny eggs. The filet is supposed to be medium but it's definitely well done. The arugula salad was good, bright citrus flavor with grated parmesan. However, I'm not sure if the filet mignon benedict is worth it for the price.

The French toast didn't come with sides, but was very large and I couldn't eat it all. It was also very very sweet and deep fried. It was yummy, but was just kinda a lot of one thing. The Florentine Benedict was yummy, and came with large portions of their sides. The spinach and mushrooms tasted a littleeee soggy and needed flavor, but I have a history of not really enjoying the spinach in their dishes anyways. Next time I would maybe get an eggs Benedict instead of the French toast.

It is slightly on the pricier side at around $18+ per plate, but the portions definitely make up for it. The staff are always super nice and welcoming, especially the older gentleman who is always so friendly. The ambiance is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating, although there's more space outside. Inside is cozy and enjoyable when it's not too crowded. My favorites are the salmon Benedict and egg coffee! Highly recommend both. Parking in the plaza is pretty tight, so I'd recommend coming earlier for a better spot or parking across at the plaza with Snail's Pace and walking over. Weekdays are great, but expect it to be very crowded on weekends.

They also were playing great music here ;)) My partner and I shared a breakfast burrito and the churro waffle. The breakfast burrito came with a side (we picked hash browns) and it was packed with egg, cheese, and bacon. The hash browns were so flavorful. The churro waffle was such a treat! It's not too sweet and comes with banana and whipped cream. Shoutout to our server Kezia she was so attentive and kind :) You should definitely come try this place out!

Overall, everything lacked flavor, although I will say the red salsa served with the chips was delicious. My friend ordered the avocado toast, but it was basically just a slice of bread with sliced avocado--no seasoning, condiments, or anything to make it stand out. The small garden salad was equally underwhelming, consisting of only romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes with no dressing or even a drizzle of olive oil. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they were more like open-faced boiled eggs since the yolks were completely hard instead of runny. The café de olla had a nice flavor, but it was much sweeter than expected. I think it would be better if they served it unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) and let customers adjust the sugar to their own taste. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the ambiance is so charming, but the food just didn't live up to the experience.

We also remembered to validate so we didn't need to spend $10 on parking. I had the Grilled Broccolini Omelette, it was sooooo good! Perfectly cooked eggs, so much gooey gruyere cheese, garlic confit, and loads of tender broccolini inside. I got the mushroom fries again for my side and they were just as good as I remember. Husband had their Cremini Mushroom Toast and added a poached egg. His toast was awesome! Cream cheese, super garlicky mushrooms, and gremolata topped the sourdough bread. Yum! We both couldn't shut up about how great breakfast was. I hope they keep that broccolini omelette on the menu, cause I am already craving it again!

I wasn't too keen on the ordering by QR code at the table, since it was our first visit, but since I didn't notice anyone hanging around the cash register, we did it.

My friend loved her iced lavender matcha and enjoyed her breakfast burrito though she thought the bacon bits were too thick compared to other places. Appreciated that they validate parking. Overall, pretty nice experience dining on the shady patio with a breeze.

I discovered this spot because I was taking my mom to her Physical Therapy appointments across the…read morestreet and I was really hungry one morning. It's a very nondescript location, you could drive by it 10 times before you noticed it, but once you walk in, it has a very warm homey feel to it. I'm always greeted with a smile and a hello and they seem to have quite a few regulars, because they call them by name when they see these customers walk in. Service - The staff (who I am assuming are the owners) are super friendly, again, greet everyone, and always open to making suggestions. If a place has breakfast burritos, I'm always down for that...so that's what I went with the first time, and every time after. When I asked about their Bfast burritos, the owner suggested that I get it with a spinach tortilla, a totally new option to me, but boy was I happy with it. I have gotten it every time since then. Parking - lots of parking available...it's very strip-mall-ish, but doesn't seem to be too busy. If this place was much closer to home, I'd come way more often than every other week or so! Yum Yum Yum!

We had a little mix up during our visit, and he handled it so respectfully and graciously that we were genuinely impressed. We will absolutely be coming back. I just found my new breakfast spot!

Bottom Line Up Front: Eggbred is breakfast food for Gen Z --…read moreand that's not a dig by any means. Let me eggplain... The Background: Eggbred is a fast-food establishment with fast-casual aspirations. You pay at the counter but the meals are handcrafted, so there's a wait similar to a sit-down restaurant. Plus, the prices are higher than a Mickey D's -- $9.79 to $13.99 for sandwiches and $9.99 to $17.99 for burritos, for example. The Food: I ordered the Ribeye California Burrito and it was delicious. The beef was tender and moist, the avocado was fresh, and the cilantro crema was tasty. The lemonade was very meh, unfortunately. The Setting: Located in a smallish strip mall on Harbor Boulevard, it has limited free parking in the front. Not a problem on a weekday mid morning, but I imagine it would be quite difficult to find parking at peak times. Inside, it had a cool, modern aesthetic, but it was small, not ideal for mid to large-size groups. Customer Service: My cashier was friendly and quite knowledgeable, providing an eggcellent recommendation (the Ribeye California Burrito). However, the cook staff took awhile making the food (it took about 20 minutes for my order to come out). The Pros and Cons: So, is the food worth the hype and premium prices? Yes and no. It's essentially a fast-food restaurant charging sit-down prices with longish wait times. Your satisfaction level will depend largely on your expectations: if you're thinking it's fast food, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the care they put into the food and freshness of the ingredients. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a more premium experience to match the premium prices. The Conclusion: I would need to return to try the other dishes on the menu to give a definitive answer, but based on my first experience I didn't feel like I got enough value for the price I paid and the wait I endured. While I would be open to trying their other dishes, I would not return unless I was in the area by chance.

You order at the front, and a staff member brings the food over to your table. We were about to eat inside their patio while it was a little chilly, but some indoor booths opened up for us. We both got the bacon burrito ($14). This is a large breakfast burrito with chopped bacon, two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. You can pick either red or green salsa. I liked the green salsa as it had a good balance of spice and flavor. The burrito has a lot of hash browns, which can overpower the overall flavor and other ingredients. The breakfast burrito seemed a little pricy, but the portion size made up for it. I even took a small remnant of leftovers home.

You could be dining at a five-star restaurant and still hope to receive the kind of service she gave us. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel genuinely welcomed and completely at home. What impressed us most was that the restaurant was busy, yet Edee never made us feel rushed or like we were just another table. She took her time with us, checked in, was incredibly friendly and attentive, and somehow managed to make our breakfast feel relaxed even during a busy part of the morning. Great food can bring you into a restaurant, but people like Ede are what make you want to come back. She is an absolute asset to this place and deserves to be recognized for the way she treats her customers. Thank you, Edee, for making a simple breakfast feel like something special. We will absolutely be back!
